An Encore in ’09?
Date: 2008-09 season
The Celtics took a well-deserved victory lap in the 2008-09 team yearbook with six pages of essays and photos honoring the 2008 NBA World Champions. With much of the same core back, expectations were high for the first Celtics repeat championship since 1969. Boston succeeded in the regular season with 62 wins and another Atlantic Division title, but injuries prevented Kevin Garnett from playing in the playoffs and resulted in a second-round exit to the Orlando Magic in the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
